Not sure where the MAXWELL and MADWELL connect...possibly spelling issue.
Are you using Ancestry or MyHeritage or some other web site notorious for poor transcriptions?

It is indexed as Maxwel (missing one l) at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, where you can (and should) look at the original document to see if it gives you any more information.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Just to put it out there, there is a website called eGGSA. org that is very useful for anyone looking for records in South Africa. They are in the middle of a passenger list transcription project. Definitely worth checking out. Kim
